Reducing energy usage in malt whisky production through Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR)


An established technology to support sustainable process heating

Still heating 

Required heating performance is achieved with external still heating.

Falling film & flooded tube condenser

Condenses spirit vapour in a similar way to standard condensers but the cooling water in the falling film part leaves the condenser partially vapourised.

Separator vessel

Separates vapour fraction from cooling water, which will be compressed to heat the still.

Steam Thermo-compressor

Uses high-pressure motive steam to compress flash vapour into steam to heat the still.











1986

BRIGGS (through historic company: Robert Morton) – working Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) system at Auchroisk Distillery (10 years).

2014 - 2024

Installed BRIGGS ThermoJet - Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR) systems - at distilleries across Scotland, Mexico, and China for over a decade.
